On the next screen you will enter your preferred Sender ID. If it is already in use you will be told Sender Id text is in use and must try a different ID.
  • A Sender ID must be of alphanumeric format having a minimum of 3 characters and a maximum of 11 characters. Space, hyphen and comma are also permitted characters. More information is available on the ComReg Q&A page.
  • Note: Sender names are approved on a first-come, first-served basis. If your preferred name (e.g. “St Mary’s”) is taken, try variations or something unique to your school. If all else fails you can put VS at the start of the ID.

Next click Assign 3rd Party.
